Week 2: Block Shop | Tues NOV 3 | 6-8pm

What exactly is block printing? Explore lino, rubber, and wood carving as we carve, ink, and print our own designs.

In celebration of Día de los Muertos, a Mexican tradition honoring and remembering loved ones who have passed, join naturalist, painter + illustrator Johanna Finnegan-Topitzer in the layered process of altar making.

Altars offer sacred space for us to visit each day and make offerings of devotion to the loved ones in our lives – those who have passed and those still with us. Many cultures use altars throughout the year or on special days to remember those who have passed and remind them that we have not forgotten them.

In this workshop, you will be making an altar devoted to a pet who has passed. You will be guided through using traditional box making techniques to build your altar. Then, students may choose to draw their pet or use a printed photo* Finally, you may add pictures and symbols of your loved one or favorite objects that were treasured in their life.

As we create these altars with love and remembrance, you are welcome to bring a story to share (optional) about your beloved animal or human. Hopefully, the piece you create will bring you peace as you display it and use it.

For ages 16 and up. Beginners as well as experienced artists are welcome.
